Frequently asked questions
How do I know if the onlyfire 6012 will fit my grill?
Measure the interior width of your grill opening, specifically the distance between the side walls where the spit rod will rest. The rod on the 6012 is 23.25 inches long, so your grill opening needs to accommodate that span. Check the onlyfire product listing for a compatibility list, as onlyfire publishes fit guides for popular grill brands.
What can I cook on a rotisserie kit like this?
Whole chickens are the most common use and produce very juicy results because the meat bastes itself as it turns. You can also do pork loins, leg of lamb, prime rib and even whole fish secured in a rotisserie basket. Use a meat thermometer and target USDA safe cooking temperatures for each protein.
Does the electric motor require a special power source?
No special power source is required. The motor plugs into a standard household outlet. If your grill is far from an outlet, a grounded outdoor extension cord will work. Check the motor's power draw before choosing an extension cord gauge to avoid voltage drop over a long run.
